Guides

What the game is, how the rules actually work, and where to play it — written from each game’s official site.

How this list is made

A game makes the list if it’s free to play in a browser and puts up a shared puzzle on a schedule, the way Wordle does.

Each card links to the official site — never a copy, never an embed. We check every link and every fact on the card against that site by hand.

We don’t post answers or hints. If a game has its own practice mode or archive, we’ll point you to it.

FAQ

What are the best games like Wordle?
It depends on what you liked. For more of the same, Quordle, Octordle and Sedecordle run several Wordles at once. For harder deduction, Word500 only tells you how many letters hit, not which. For a different shape, try Squareword or Connections. If you're tired of letters, Nerdle, Worldle and Framed keep the daily guess-and-narrow loop.
Are these games free?
Yes — every game on this page can be played free in a browser with no download. A few sell optional extras, such as Krillion's one-time unlock, and some New York Times puzzles limit play without a subscription.
Is there a Wordle with unlimited play?
Wordle itself is one puzzle a day. Word500 and Sedecordle both have official Practice modes you can replay as often as you like, and Absurdle has no guess limit at all.
What's the hardest game like Wordle?
Sedecordle asks you to solve sixteen Wordles with 21 shared guesses. Word500 is hard in a different way: you only learn how many letters are right, never which ones. Absurdle changes its answer to avoid your guesses until you trap it.
Do you host these games or post answers?
No. Every card links to the game's official site and opens in a new tab. We don't publish answers or hints.
How does Today's round work?
Add any game to your round with the + Round button, then tick games off as you play them. Ticks clear at midnight; the list itself stays. It's saved only in your browser — no account.
